Boat Trip (2002)
Not for everyone.
Okay people, i read so many mixed reactions about this one, that I literally tip toed to watch it. My friend Evan hated, and said it was worse than Dogville, but my Dad said it was great. And i am a big Horatio Sanz fan, but who isn't?!... so I ventured.
I loved it! Don't let the liberal media fool you, Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding Jr. is a great comedian and scholar, and he manages to cruise this moving picture with grace and gusto. There are some darker, gross out moments, but they serve the story (just like the gross out moments in any Cronenberg or Bela Tarr films). Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty) is great as the b***h, but her character is well developed and goes well beyond clichés.
Till next time.
RV (2006)
For fans of Heidegger and Ockham!
For all of you fans of Ockham and Heidegger, this is a film for you! Hilarious, intriguing, often mesmerizing, this is a film for the entire family. I laughed so hard, the neighbors almost called the police.
If Orson Welles were alive, he would be directing comedies like this one. I particularly liked the scene of the RV. Do I smell a sequel?
Anyway, if you enjoy the easy writings of Thomas More or Therese of Avila, this film is your best bet.
The woman from Arrested Development was great too. It is a film that really makes you think. It was almost as good as Click, and as insightful as Man on Fire.

Black Woman's Guide to Finding a Good Man (2007)
A comedy for the ages.
Why is it that no one has said anything about this one? What a delightful film! I am still laughing, even though i saw it last Thursday. It is great film-making, a great example that you can make an awesome movie with three pesos. I will watch it over and over again. I almost feel like dating a black woman now (LOL). It reminded me of such landmarks as Madea's or Waiting to Exhale... I wonder why Oprah hasn't discussed this film on her great show. I think every young woman (and every young men) should definitely check this one out. You won't regret it.
Seriously, this is a great movie, better than any Spike Lee joint.
